The artistic taste of Mrs. Charles Greer had transformed The Methodist church into a bower of loveliness. Palms, ferns and smilax were effectively used. The three arches of bamboo gleamed with festoons of tinsel, while o’er the enchanting scene, electric lights cast a mellow radiance. The musical programme was arranged by our own gifted Mrs. E.H. McGehee. Each number was replete with melody and proved how rich Oglethorpe is in talent and culture. Miss Lucille Greer’s contralto voice was at its best in “All for You.” Mr. Walter Buckhanan’s rare tenor was soulful in “You,” while Miss Artie Shealy’s tender soprano wooed with wonderous sweetness in its pleading “Oh Promise Me.” The ushers were: Mr. Ran Crawley and Mr. Joseph Petibone of Waycross, Mr. Ben Franklin, Barnesville and Dr. L.E. Shealy of Oglethorpe. As the bridal party approached, the choir began singing from the vestibule, Lohengrin’s Bridal Chorus. The choristers came down to the aisle singing. They were Mrs. John Humphrees, Mrs. Chas. Cunningham, Miss Artie Shealey, Miss Lucile Greer and Mr. W. Beckham. The bride entered with her father Mr. E. Thomas Harris, the groom came in with Mr. Wm. Nicholls of Waycross, around this popular couple were grouped gracefully, Mrs. Hamilton Weston of Talbotton, Matron of Honor, Miss Janie Lilly of Quitman, Bride’s maid of honor, Misses Ruth and Beatrice Lambdin of Waycross, maids; Messrs. John Walker, Jerome Crawley of Waycross and G.C. Middlebrooks, groomsmen. Rev. J.B. McGehee, D.D., grandfather of the bride, waited at the altar and in the beautiful ritual of the Methodist church performed the sacred words uniting for all eternity. The bride was gowned in a tailored suit of brown, with velvet toque, and harmonious accessories. She carried bride’s roses. She possesses a personality that wins love. She has always been useful in every good word and work. The groom, Mr. Lambdin, is one of Waycross most excellent young businessmen. He has a wide circle of friends, who congratulate him on the selection of so fair a bride. Mrs. H.P. Weston was lovely in a charming toilet, with brown trimmings and carried pink carnations. The maids were very attractive in white with picture hats. They carried white carnations. A brilliant prenuptial reception was given by Dr. and Mrs. J.B. McGehee. The prospective bride was exquisitely dainty and charming in a white marquisette over white satin. The wedding cake with his thimble, dime and ring added interest and jest. Among the out of town guests were: Misses Marie Spivey, Marie Johnson and Sue Sharp. A luncheon was served after the ceremony Wednesday. The party boarded the AB&A afternoon train for a stay in Atlanta before going to Waycross – their home. Of this happy pair the following lines seem appropriate: “Thrice blessed, whose loves in faithful prayers, Whose love in higher love endures No souls possess themselves so pure Nor is there blessedness like theirs.” Lynda Lee Bryan File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/talbot/vitals/marriages/harris2826mr.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 3.9 Kb
